Features and benefits

Robust product design and testing - The
generator is designed to operate under extreme
environmental conditions including cold weather
starts at as low as -40 oF. The generator is tested
and certified per the latest EPA, UL and IBC
Seismic standards and is capable of meeting
NFPA110 requirements when equipped with the
necessary accessories and properly installed.
Flexible Exercise mode - The innovative, flexible
exercise mode enables the generator to exercise
at a time, frequency and duration that suits the
customer's preference - as little as 2 minutes
every 6 months - reducing unnecessary fuel
consumption, emissions and noise.
Advanced Enclosure Design - The aesthetically
appealing enclosure incorporates special designs
that deliver the quietest generator of its kind.
Aluminum material plus durable powder coat
paint provides the best anti-corrosion
performance. The generator set enclosure has
been evaluated to withstand 180 MPH wind loads
in accordance with ASCE7-10. The intelligent
design has removable panels and service doors
to provide easy access for service and
maintenance.
Self diagnostics and easy service - The
generator is equipped with Cummins
PowerCommand electronic control to provide
industry-leading self diagnostic capabilities. In
addition, critical components of the generator are
designed to ensure service and preventive
maintenance can be completed in a short period
of time.
